Blueprint Cocktail

Hello to all and welcome to Blueprint Cocktail.  Blueprint Cocktail for me will be a space in which cocktail experimentation, education, and passion will be allowed to freely roam.  Bartending for me has become a true passion.  So much so that I want to share my findings and contribute to the overall Renaissance that is happening in the cocktail world.  Early in my career, my attitude shifted from thinking that working behind the stick was just a means to some other end, to becoming aware that being a professional, having a creative vision and enjoying true hospitality had become extremely fulfilling. At this stage in my career I am looking forward to the continuing education and the camaraderie associated with the progression of the industry.  This past year, I had one of my cocktails selected by Travel & Leisure magazine and Grand Marnier as top 10 in the Beverage Arts Challenge.  It was very nice to have something that you have created enjoyed by such an esteemed panel.  I very much look forward to more opportunities such as this as well as staying humble and keeping a “there’s always more to learn” mindset. Blueprint Cocktail will hopefully help me to achieve that.
